Technical details

An out-of-bounds write vulnerability (CWE-787) exists in Adobe After Effects. The flaw is triggered when the application parses a specifically crafted malicious file, leading to memory corruption. An attacker can leverage this to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the current user. The attack vector is local, requiring user interaction to open the file. Adobe has addressed this in versions 26.3 and 25.6.6.
